Trivia

Like Zero Cipher's debut album, 'Diary of a Sadist' features interludes that follow a theme. Throughout the album, sections of ambient noise, the sound of scribbling on paper using a pencil and frantic breathing can be heard. This represents the 'sadist' (from the album title) writing in their 'diary'. This time, the interludes do not follow a narrative and usually appear on the end of songs instead of on separate tracks.
